accomplish his defeat in the next election.
Bnt the Governor General is appointed by
the Crown, and the Crown, as long as it is
advised by the present ministry, is not
likely to look with any less favor upon a
man because he has unceremoniously pitched
his tenants out of doors. So there is no
hope that Mr.. O'Brien will be able to pun
ish the Marquis by securing his recall.
About all he can possibly accomplish is TO
intensity the hatred of such of the people OF
the Dominion as hate tho Marquis already.
But in intensifying their hatred he runs the
risk of stimulating them or some Of them
to some rash action. A hot-headed Irish
man NAV be excited by his eloquence and the
taunts of the Orangemen into some indiscre-
ton that may lead to bloody riot in the
streets of Montreal. That would not hurt
the Governor General, but it would hurt the
cause of Ireland very much indeed.
What little influence Canada has with the
Home government has already been exerted
in favor of the Irish cause. Mr.. O'Brien
could get nothing more in that direction if
he denounced the Governor General in every
town in the Dominion. But if disturbances
result from his visit, the Nationalist at
home will be held responsible, and the Tories
will be furnished new and effective indict-
ment against them. Mr.. O'Brien's appear
ance in Canada at this juncture and for the
purpose which ne avows u.s. therefore, very
unfortunate. 1t cannot possibly do the Irish
cause any good, and it may do it good deal
of harm,

The professor of physical culture at the
University of Pennsylvania has declared
that the young men who frequent the GYM
nasium of the University must cease smoking
cigarettes, and the faculty of the college
have taken the hint and decreed that a like
prohibition shall be enforced within the linn
Its Of the college grounds. The professor Of
physical culture in these days is physician
and an athlete. He examines the bodies of
the students and watches over their devel-
opment. His reasons for declaring against
the cigarette!are practical, not sentimental.
The smokers heart" has become much too
common among college young men.
Since Mayor Hewitt has enforced the law
closing saloons on Sunday in New York, the

several columns to lively and interesting
descriptions of the Inconvenience, distress
agony, and so on, of the unfortunate victims
of a steady thirst for alcoholic drinks, who
tried in vain to get their favorite drinks at
their favorite, or other, places of resort.
This has moved some one to ask the very
pertinent question whether it would not be
well to inquire as to the state of minds of
some of the wives of New York when they
contemplated the unusually rational and
sober conditions of their husbands on the
night of the terrible day.

The list Of Vassar's rivals is lengthening
very fast. This fall, just within the shadow
Of Princeton, new college for the higher
education Of women is to open its doors.
DIR. McIlyaine, formerly professor of bellies
lettres in Princeton, with fifteen professors,
will constitute the faculty. The college will
begin with accommodations forinearly three
hundred students, and the promise is good
that the classes for the FIRST year will be
large. The prescribed course of study will
be the same classical course at Princeton,
with the single exception of Greek, which
win be elective. An innovation upon the
usual custom will be the granting of the
privilege Of taking degree in four or in five
years, as the student may prefer No girl
will be admitted under the age of 16 years,
and the entrance of those under the ages of
II or IS years viii be discouraged. The new
institution will be named Evelyn College,
for the stuffy old loyalist of the days Of
Charles H., the same Sir John who wrote of
forestry and left to posterity famous diary.
The reason for giving the college his name
is not apparent, unless it is that Evelyn is so
much like girls name.

Russell Sage, the Wall street magnate, is
said to have recently paid 800 to get out
of serving on jury. Americans who are so
busy making money that they haven't time
to discharge their duties as citizens, should

1t is sad commentary on the bringing
up" of Americans that it will be necessary
to close the doors of the Washington monu-
ment to the public. The relic hunters have
begun already to tear it to pieces and carry
1t OFF. Although the aim has been to give
passes only to those who seemed to be or

that many of them have been vandals Of the
worst type. AS the stairways are totally
dark, visitors have been in the habit of car

died SO carelessly that many of the choicest

vent this vandalism, the monument will be
closed to every one. Hundreds Of honest
and well meaning American citizens, whose
money has helped build the monument, must
be deprived of the privilege of ascending tC

Hardly day passes now without some
